Subject: ping plugin: Let start_thread() return gracefully when thread is already running.
X-Git-Tag: collectd-5.6.0~3^2~7^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://git.octo.it/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=67a330cb7ba890a03142a089ed1aebea8842072f;p=collectd.git

ping plugin: Let start_thread() return gracefully when thread is already running.

Signaling an error caused the init function to signal an error, causing
the read callback to be unregistered on systems where init is called
more than once.

Fixes: #869
